She took a deep breath and looked down at his hands, large and inviting, currently clasped together on the table. “I am your doctor, Aang. AMA guidelines are very clear regarding relationships with patients. We are… definitely crossing those already. But there is one line I will not cross, not until I officially sign your medical clearance and discharge you as a patient.”

She paused to take another breath, and his expression was serious, brows slightly furrowed below the point of the arrow. “We cannot sleep together,” she made herself say, eyes darting furtively around them as if expecting someone—the American Medical Association, perhaps—to jump out from behind a fern.

Aang, for his part, nodded slowly and picked up his glass to take a quick sip of water while her stomach turned itself into knots awaiting his answer. When he lifted his eyes to hers, they were filled with a now familiar determination. “I understand, Katara. If that is the line, you don’t have to worry about me pushing it.”

She released a measured sigh, trying to hide the depth of her relief. “Good, that's… good.”
